Digital ink Rub Tester
10-18-01

The Digital Ink Rub Tester is designed to measure scuffing or rubbing resistance. Several tests can be
performed including:dry rub-the amount of transfer ink from one dry surface to another, wet rub-the
amount of transfer of ink from wetted surface to another, wet bleed or transfer-ink transfer to a watersaturated blotter, wet smear-similar to wet bleed with the addition or rub cycles, functional rub/wet rubsmear or transfer tests using a liquid other than water and hot abrasion. An optional heated weight provides
a uniform test for evaluating “hot abrasion” resistance of printed cartons, labels etc.
FEATURES

minute) and two higher speeds (85 and 100 cycles

samples requiring a higher number of rubs
